Exploring Cooperative Transboundary River Management Strategies for the Eastern Nile Basin_Hydrology_Scenarios

The data set contained in this archive was developed and used to conduct a study titled 'Exploring Cooperative Transboundary River Management Strategies for the Eastern Nile Basin'. The data set includes three ensembles of hydrologic inputs, each developed from a simulated annealing technique. A baseline ensemble uses statistical properties similar to historical conditions from 1900-2002. A second ensemble increases the interannual standard deviation of all inputs by 15%. A third ensemble increases the long-term persistence of all inputs by increasing the Hurst coefficient by 20%. The data provides inputs for the Eastern Nile RiverWare Model (ENRMv3.3). The study explored cooperative management strategies between the countries of Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt after the construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. This results of this study have been published in Water Resources Research (https://doi.org/10.1029/2017WR022149).

本存档中所包含的数据集系为进行一项名为《探索东尼罗河流域跨境合作水资源管理策略》的研究而开发与应用。该数据集包含由模拟退火技术构建的三个水文输入集合。其中，一个基准集合采用与1900-2002年历史条件相似的概率统计特性；第二个集合将所有输入的年际标准差提高了15%；第三个集合通过增加20%的赫斯特系数，提升了所有输入的长期持续性。数据集为东尼罗河水资源模型（ENRMv3.3）提供了输入。研究探讨了埃塞俄比亚、苏丹和埃及三国在竣工大埃塞俄比亚复兴大坝后，通过多目标进化算法实施的跨境合作水资源管理策略。该研究的结果已发表在《水资源研究》期刊上（https://doi.org/10.1029/2017WR022149）。
